The tug SILL, of Racine, left this port tonight with a lighter and steam pump to attempt the release of the schooner SPEED, driven ashore at that port last night. The vessel is full of water, but is thought not to have sustained any damage. She is insured for $3,700.
      Racine, Wis., April 19.-- The schooner SPEED, of racine, went ashore just north of the pier at the mouth of the harbor here last night. The line parted while the tug SILL was towing her in, and the high wind drove her on the beach. She was loaded with shingles on deck and wood in the hold. She can probably be got off with little trouble.

The Schooner SPEED, formerly commanded by Capt. J.P. Clark, of this port, is ashore North of the piers at Racine. While in tow of the tug SILL last Wednesday evening the line parted. A heavy sea was running at the time, and as the weather has been unfavorable ever since, it is probable that she will prove a total loss. She was loaded with lumber for Kelly, Weaks & Co., and is valued at $3,000. The SPEED is owned by the heirs of the late Joseph Walker, father of Mrs. J.P. Clark, of this city.
